I have a multi-project ASP.NET + C# solution.
I was planning on writing a quick (separate) VB app that yanks out all DLLs, ASPX, Config, etc files and slaps them into a 7zip file for deployment to the test server.
Is there a more elegant solution than this?
My development environment is VWD2008Express.
I suggest that you look at cruise control .net and NAnt which will allow you to take care of all of this type of stuff easily. No need for zipping to move the files (though you can zip and create a backup!). You can use msbuild to do the pre-compile. Rick Straul wrote a great tool that you can tap into that does this for you…tells you what the appropriate msbuild commands are (http://www.west-wind.com/presentations/AspNetCompilation/AspNetCompilation.asp).
